Holding the Camera 

 

 

 

Place thumb of right hand between 
contour grip (21) and side of camera, 
while the other fingers reach forward 
around the “bulge” so they are free to 
actuate the follow-focus grips (38) and 
diaphragm ring of the lens in taking 
position.  Place palm of left hand 
around finder housing on left side of 
camera, fingers over ON-OFF switch 
this way, camera can be held steady 
and comfortably.

  

 

When the “ON” switch (10) is pressed 
down, it remains locked in the down-
position until the release lever (11) is 
pushed in.   

 

 

An accessory PISTOL GRIP WITH OR WITHOUT SHOULDER BRACE IS ALSO 
AVAILABLE.  It is attached to the tripod socket in the base of the camea and has 
its own release trigger which activates a switch inside the tripod socket.
